2023 Buick Envision Owners Manual - Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL)



Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL)

If equipped with the AFL system, the headlamp high beams move horizontally while turning the steering wheel to provide greater road illumination around curves.

To activate AFL, set the exterior lamp control to the AUTO or 2  position, and Adaptive Headlight system is active.

To adjust the AFL setting, go to the infotainment home page and select Settings > Vehicle > Lighting.

Moving the control out of the AUTO or position will deactivate the system. Headlamps can move horizontally when the vehicle speed is greater than approximately 3 km/h (2 mph). Headlamps will not move horizontally when the transmission is in R (Reverse).

If equipped, the AFL system automatically modifies the low beam lighting patterns to the situation to enable optimal light performance for the driver. Light distribution and intensity of low beam light are controlled based on exterior lighting conditions, vehicle location, and driving situations.

Town Light

Activated automatically at a speed up to 55 km/h (34 mph).

The light is wide and symmetrical. The special beam pattern is designed to avoid glare for other road users.

Country Light

Activated automatically at a speed above 55 km/h (34 mph).

The illumination of the current lane and the side of the road is improved, reducing glare to oncoming and preceding vehicles.

Freeway/Motorway Light

When driving faster than 90 km/h (55 mph) on freeways, the low beam illumination is smaller and extended.

Adverse Weather Light

Activated automatically when driving in adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, etc.).

The illumination is shifted more to the side of the road to highlight road signs, as well as reducing glare caused by reflecting of wet roads.
